ATOMOBILE-RADIATOB.

Beit-known that we, DAVID LA-NDA and ,AsiiEii GoLnEN, citizens of the United States, and residents of New York, in the county of New. York and State of Newl York, have in vented certain new and useful Improve ments in Automobile-Radiators, of which thefollowi'ng is a specification.

This invention relates to improrements in radiators for automobiles. L

In the drawings -Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of the radiator 'casing-and engine' bonnet; the engine being shown-.in full lines.

Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the radiator and casing. Y

The principal objects which the invention of air through the radiating tubes; to simplify the construction whereby the radiator, and the casing are one structure, which may be readily inserted and separated lfrom the body structure. A

In the drawings is illustrated an engine' of the usual type, provided lwith a watercooling system to which-.theradiator is connected. The radiator is provided with the conipartn'ient 1 to receive water from the y pipe 2, which is connected with the water lie-.ids and jackets of the engine. The ra# diatoi' is provided at the bottom with thecompartment 'lhe compartment 1 and the compartment, 3 are connected by the radiating tubes 1, which may vbe of any deiv -The radiator tubes/1 together with the compartments 1 and 3 are secured -rigidly tothe faceplate 7 and the back plate 8 of the housiiw or casing. The sides are housedy -is claimed 1s:-

in by the side plates 9 that are extended foi'- waifd to any desired position, the purpose being to cover the sides of the tube compart-` ni'ent andl concentratev the air entering to the tb'es, so that the same .will fpllow the path desi rncd. In other words,l referring to Fig. 2 o drawings, .the space indicated by the number 10Vis eiipbsedto the air entering reason of the hood 12 is carried to therea-r of the water compartment 1 and downward lseries of radiator tubes; a

guided 'to travel forward and around the vuntil it' strikes the platel by which it is i forward edge of' the same. VheIr in its downwardpassage it strikes the horizontal. plate 14 it is guided to travel around the rear 'edge of that plate from 'whence it trai-'els forward until it meets the 4face plate 7 by which it is guided downward through the passage 15 around .thefront endl ofthe compartment Sgen its road tothefan 5- whence it is expelled backwardunder the cai body., Thus the air is compelled to travel several times through the' tubes 4;

thereby absorbing proportionately more of,

the heat from the tubes. Alsothe'speed of travel of the same is accelerated by the applied force of the fan 5', and the rush of the car. l Y

-By interposing the face plat-ev 7 between the bonnet of the 'engine andtheradiator tubes, the radiation from the engine is car# ried off without ii'npinging upon they radiator. The end'portionsof` the plates 13V-are inclined as shown' at 1G to control the air caught bythe hood 12 and deiect'the saine to tle center. so that it will pass behindthe face p ate 7. rangement an increased capacity of radiation is furnished by l'n'otecting the tubes from the heat of the engine. Also the appearance of the car is eiihanced'in that the'radiator Ais not exposed, except as a part of the general structural design and is in keeping vwith the same. Also it will be observed that the heated air from the engine and radiators -is not-permitted to pass back into the body of the car. A

1. An automobile radiatorcomprising, a series of radiator tubes; a casinglfor said series of tubes having a'front and back; and a'plurality'of plates extended alternately from the back and front of said Casin to foi-ni a tortuous passage for'the air a out said tubes. 4' l 2. An automobile radiator comprising, a series of radiator tubes; a casing forl said tubes having front, back and side plates arranged to provide'inlets at the top andsides', saidinlets open to the front only -and a plu- It will be noticed that by this arrality of plates extended alternately from the back and front of said casing to form a toi-.tuous passage for the air about said tubes.

3. An automobile radiator comprising, a

easing for said' connected to a plurality of horizontally disposed plates of less vwidth than the casing and alternately the front and rear wallrof said' casing. v h

4. An automobile radiator comprising, a series of radiator tubes; a casing for said tubes having front, back 'and side plates ar-V ranged to provide inlets at the top andv sides, said inlets open to the front only; and a plurality of j horizontally disposed lates of less width than the'casing and a ternately connected to the front and rear wall of said casing. i Y Y 5. An automobile radiator comprising, 'a series of'radiato'r-tubes; a casing to hold the radiator having av face plate to separate the engine s ace from the radiator; and a plurality o plates extended alternately froml ,the back and front" of said casing to form aA tortuous vpassage for `the airabout said tubes. 6. An automobile radiator comprising, a-

'serics of radiator tubes; a casing tohold the radiator having a face prgte to separate thel engme space from the r iator; and a `plu- 'rality'of horizontally disposed plates of less width than the casing andalternately con.-

nected to the front and rear wall of saidcasing.
